'EL LE LONDON JOURNA LS. imiLY Extracts from thc Morning Pvers,March 31,18/6. s.J They manage matters in a way of their own, on the Irish side . of St. George's Channel. The public are aware that warm—and we are much • afraid an angry and acrimonious—contest is about to take place for the county of Waterford at the ensuing election. The Roman Catholic, and therefore popular candidate l is a Mr. Stuart , re. La presentative (through the dy Gertrude (Vil liers) Stuart, his mother) of the family of the Earls of Grandisms, in that county. This gen. tleman's object is to throw out LOrd George Beresford, a brother of the Marquis of Water ford,' who has been county member for several •.± , ears. That much fury and folly should be ex cited by an election contest, having such a clues thin as that of emancipation for its watchword, and such a project as that of unhorsing an ancient and powerful family for its real cause, will as tonish no person who understands what mobs are made of ; but the fury, unfortunately, has not in this case been confined to the mob: it has mounted higher places. Even the Magistracy—the purified Ishii magistracy—have been seized with the vul gar madness, which it was their bounden duty to assuage or punisli, and have exhibited themselves as so many election agents and partisans, to the ,peasantry who looked up to them for an example of Sobriety and justice. It appears that on some late occasion, the inhabitants of Kilmacthomas— an inconsiderable, but, we have heard, rather disorderly village—bad been guilty of a riot; hew provoked, or whether originating in the mere wantonness of whisky, we know not : some windows are said to have been broken, but little further mischief was done. This outbreak, how. ever, was construed pretty generally to have been connected,.more or less, with election politics - the spirit of the people having declared itself io the cries of " Stuart for ever !" it is no wonder, then, that the friends of the here ford party looked at the disturbance with an unfavourable. eye ; and the more so, if •it be true, as stated in some of the Dublin papers, that the very people who thus turned patriots 'on behalf of Mr. Stuart, were actually 'tenants of the Marquis of Waterfordond had been qualified by his Lordship as freeholders, to support his brother'i election. In, passing, we may just re mark, that if the priests have been tampering with these poor forty-shilling wretches, to seduce them from the banners of their powerful land lord, and epgage them in the cause of his oppo. nent, the reverend gentlemen are chargeable with having, for a single object of party politics--and so far us the reverend priests are concerned, an object of a selfish nature too—involved the mi serable voters and their families in the risk of irretrievable rein. The custom, we might say the law, of landlord and tenant, throughout ire land, more especially where the landlord is a man of great prudence in the manage meta of his fortune, of immense. wealth, and therefore fearless of inconvenience arising from ;the adoption of peremptory measures with his inferiors—the law, we say, in such eaves iit t that ruin follows every political rebel , lion of the tenant against his lord. If the priest, then, has preached the poor voters of macthomas into an lutstility to their landlord's hitterests, he has, oceordhsx to the Irish system, gowned them to utter destitution front the mu. rent In which they tender their votes. Such is said to be the peroicious and unseemly working of the Irish 40s. franchise.—ilut this was a di. e4ssion. The Governor of the County, the Marquis of Waterford, having the transaction represented to him, no doubt, In the most offer. sive colours, called upon the County Magistrates, U one and all," to meet him at Dungarvan, a neighbobring town, there to investigate the " cruises of the riot." There could scarcely have beep a more irregular step than this, inasmuch as the papers inform us that informations had been already sworn against the parties hop& tuned * on whose trials, at the Sessions, the cir comstences and causes of the riot, whether light or Serious, would of necessity come nut; but could on the other hand, if discussed previously to the trials, tend only to prejudice and defeat the impartiality of justice. When the country justices assembled accordingly, ' many among them appear to have been struck by the mbar. panting actuation they were placed in : they de. glared that they did not constitute n Court,could neither receive evith•nce nor hear counsel, and therefore could, in fact, do nothing. Out this was not ali t tier the most ludicrous part of the iiroceeding. After two hours spent in arguiren . 'toilet] whether the meeting should be a public (Me or private, Mr. Power, and some 11 or 12 of hid brethren forming the opposition or Whig Oily, seceded front their brethren of the Privy filtamber, moved off to the CourtAin f ese, made a chairman, a meeting, and resolutions of their oiti, decline the investigation of the riot, but de. recite the unlawful carrying agents, the indut. dSince of electieeeering whisky, and'any increase of ie military Torre ; and these their sentiment's they propose submitting to the Lord Lieutenant. Oat the opposite side of the way, in the•meall time, another Council sit, not in public, like the " pop puler" justices, but in secret c;ibitiet, with the paraphernalia of office.to wit a majority of votes :-.the Clerk of the Peace, and in prospeet,' we later presume, a decent supply of the loaves and tlith'et. These dignitaries proitoonce at once that the riot was caused by "intoxication and party cg feeling ;" they, as, well as the Whig Justices, l a y much blame upon the whiskey,. which they 1 40 licit the candidates to discontinue fUrnishing, order unqualified persons to, be disermed,but said this' formidable supplement to their werk--" th a t " it is the oploieti of the present meeting that an tt Lipplicltion should be made to GnePrnment to tc ij i are a o additional force in the' town of ee Kilmacthomas, for the more efiectual pre.

We have alluded, in the fore. going remarks, to the mischievous and un dignified disagreements of the Irish Magi stracy among themselves. We have now to re. fer to an extract from the newspapers, which - - we insert below ; and which illustrates ra ther forcibly the points in which those per sonages do take pains to agree—we mean in their general treatment of the King's sub jects. Judge Moore finds it necessary to re proach the Grand Juries of Tipperary and Clots mel, with a grievance which we have often be fore adverted to—the horrible indifference to. wards personal liberty, manifested by that class of Irish gentlemen to whom notwithstanding the 46 purgation" of their bench, it is still by law in trusted. Forty-eight individuals discharged by proclamation at one Assizes, because no charge had been preferred against them, although some of the number had been pining for six months in prison I One.fourth, accord. lag to the declaration of the Learned Judge himself—one-fourth of the wretched prisoners throughout Ireland dismissed from gaol for want of any charge against them! We but state the fact : we defy the most eloquent man alive to make a commentary on it more impressive than the fact itself. We shall merely say, that such a tyranny is equal to that of the Spanish Inquisi• lion at the worst of times, and the country where it exists is unfit for any British subject to inhabit. " Cr.oxstEr. A as tz es. —On Tuesday evening at five o'clock, Mr. Justice . Moore arrived in town front Kilkenny, escorted by a detachment of police and the Sheriff's javelin-men, and shortly after opened the commission in the Crown-court, in the üb. sense of the Lord Chief Justice (who had been . detained by press of business in Kilkenny), when the following respecta ble Grand Jury was sworn :—Hon. F. A. Prittie, NI.P., fore man ; Hon. George t.PCallaghan ; Sir Henry R. Carden ; Wm. Fennefather ; Richard B. H. Lowe; Matthew Jacob ; Richard Creagh ; Wm. Perry ; Charles Win. Wall• John Trent ; Nathaniel Taylor , Ambrose Going ; Samuel IV. Bar ton ; James Scully ; Maurice Crosble ; Richard tong; Rich ard S. Mansergh Wm. Purefoy ; John 111aher ; John Bagwell ; Stephen O'Meagher; Richard Millet; Hugh Linker, Emirs.— " The Learned Judge addressed the Grand Jury, and, after some preliminary observations, said, there was one subject to which he could not avoid alluding. 11'hile he was happy to hear from all sides of the peace of time county, on looking to time calendar, he found that the number of prisoners for trial had con siderably exceeded that on a late occasion, there being now 216 In custody. This appeared to him a paradox ; It was what he could not account for, unless it arose out of a number of persona having been committed on light charges, and suffered to remain in gaol, whose cases might have been investigated and otherwise disposed of. However it happened, the subject was worthy of their consideration, and he wished particularly to call their attention to it. The observation which be conceived necessary to make on this topic, his Imrdship staid, wereintended to operate by way of suggestion. When he last presided in that Court (twelve months ago), he had, according to the notes which he had taken in a book kept for the purpose, discharged 40 prisoners by proclamation, against whom no harge was preferred, and, from the state of the calendar at present, lie wait inclined to sup. pose, that at the termination of the assize, the number to be discharged by proclamatimin would not be less. Any unnecessary infringement on the liberty of the subject was a grievance in it. self; but the pecuniary burden it entailed on the county was a'so to be taken into account. The learned Justice said, he had men tioned at Kilkenny, and he was prepared to repeat the fact here, that alba entire number of permonscommitted to jail throttAtout Ireland, one-tifth—he believed he might any . one-fourth—were discharged, without any crime whatever having been preferred against them. ' He had frequently met, and on this present cir. cult, prisoners in custody six months, discharged under rind. lar circumstances. To remedy this, his Lordship impressed on the minds of the Grand Jury, the necessity of uniting the functions of grand jurors and magistrates, to cause justice in this respect to be carried into effect in the county, and to ex amine minutely every case which might come under their ob. serration, whether at petit Sessions or other places. The Court was then adjourned to two o'clock in time afternoon on Good Friday, when, after divine service, Judge Moore took his seat nn the Bench. There were no trials of any public interest." --••••••- [MORNING lIE Mr. Peel's first Bill for the consolidation co the Criminal Law is before the public, received, of course, with one voice of approval ; yet it can not escape observation that the new statute will run to a formidable length, considering the oar- rowness of its object, and that a main - purpose of its author is to condense and abridge the Statute Book. In the French Penal Code the law of robbery, burglary, and larceny, treated under a single class or genus, is comprised, with the utmost clearness and minuteness of detail, in five pages of very small duodecimo. Much of this lies in the difference of style, that of the French Code being short and peremptory, whilst the language of our Acts of Parliament is, from its techuical, at least its habitual construc tion, prolix. At the same time those who know any thing about the matter will hardly desire to see Mr. Peel an admirer of the cri• minal law of France, or of Scotland, or any other country, whose criminal procedure is de. rived from the Roman law. lie has shown a bias towards a particular part of the Scotch procedure whiCh. is calculated to excite some prejudice against the general excellence of Ws design. The idle - voice of those who would substitute a public prosecutor for a Grand Jury, and put the ac. cooed In the torture of a forced examination, would be a trifling counterpoise to the prejudice and alarm which this bias, if at all brought into action, would excite elfewhere. There are mere accessories in the instituting and conducting of trials in Scotland which may be adopted with all, vantage—such as the giving a copy of the indict.. ment, previously, to the accused , and allowing full defence by Counsel, both of which are al ready the practice by law, in cases of trettsoit.— Dot the creation of a public prosecutor is an essential and most alarming invasion of the English criminal procedure a substitution of the despotic spirit of the annum Im. penal law, for the free, popular spirit and forms of the old English COIIIIIIOII law. The interven. (ion of the Grand Jury is the great safeguard of the accused. The utmost that can be urged agaiost it is, that it may send perions to trial whom the closer investigation of a public pro. secutor would have discharged. Even so, the confinement is scarcely longer than it would be under the machinery of a public prosecutor — considering the frequency of sessions and assizes. Rut what is the utmost inconvenience or abuse that could result, compared with, the astonishing supposition of an officer of the Crown, having in his hands the whole administsation of the crimi. oal law of the country ? It may be said that politics could have no share in. the great mass of 'criminal' . proseeettons ; but nothing is more nugatory "I'rY charge against a Political person is a political change—and is this, and every other country, where the .people are' free, every man is a politician. Let - it be sup posed for a moment - that procedure by indictment is abolished, and the Attorney General's process by information ex officio substituted for it, and we have some idea of the office of public prose cutor—such an officer may be very congenial to the jurisprudence of States, like the Roman Em 6. pire, where all power, executive, legislative, and administrative, was in the Sovereign, and the people had o nly to pay tribute and obey; or it may be relished by the Oligarchy which rules in Scotland—but such an authority in one person, and that person a creature of the Crown, could not be endured, or, if endured, would destroy public liberty in England, where the chief tribunal in both civil and criminal matters is the most popular that can be conceived. " Public liberty," says Blackstone, " cannot exist long in any state, unless the administration of common justice be separated from the executive and also from the legislative power." But what is the public prosecutor? It was stated officially in the House of Commons, that the Lord Advocate, or public prosecutor in Scotland, has the whole Eau . Mil/I' Government of Scotland under his cular care ! !! MaTittmosnr.—The Lady who announced through this Paper that she would, on yesterday, walk on the North side of Alerrion.square, for the purpose of receiving from Candi dates for her hand in an honourable way a statement of their pretensions, thinks- it a duty to explain the reason that her part of the engagement was not literally ful. tilled. At half-past two o'clock (half an hour previously ft) the time fixed in the announcement), the Lady walked to the spot cpecitied in the notice; not, however, in the costume described to be worn by her. She made this preliminary visit, in order to see what description of persons were in attendance. To the great mortification of the Laity, those who were then present were Individuals who did not at all come within the moaning of her words. There were ladies rolling in their 'mooches and carriages ? and scampering on their horses, and walking on the place which she had assigned to herself, none of whom, how. ever well inclined they might haVe been to wear a certain por. tion of male attire when they had once entered into the happi. ness of matrimony, could at all put forward the masculine qualifications that the Advertiserrequired in the companion she was engaged in seeking. Then there were crowds of old mar. ried Gentlemen—.persona who could have been only induced to come there by an impertinent and prying curiosity. Besides these, there were two other classes that mustered innumerably strong, and who were , particularly denounced in the Advertise. ment—there were superannuated beaux and swarms at spurred and whiskered puppies. In addition to these there was rude and tumultuous assemblage, so eager to see the wonder of a woman acting according to the suggestions of pure and unsophisticated nature, that, to a mind not accustomed to such exhibitions, they conveyed feelings of terror and dismay. The confusion that pervaded the entire body of persons then assembled was altogether such as fully to warrant the Lady in declining to perform the pleasing duty she had originally as signed to herself. As art illustration of the prevailing tumult, the Lady begs to say, that but for the kind and polite atten tion of a Gentleman, whom on inquiry she understood to be Mr. Sergeant Lefroy, she would, when she wished to retire, have been unable to accomplish her desire, the crowd at that time having congregated to an alarming pressure. The Lady advertiser thinks these circumstances are more than sufficient to account for her nonperformance of her announcement. She now begs to say, that on next Sunday she will walk in Mount. joy.square, at the hour appointed yesterday, prepared to re ceive any any communication relating to the subject of her wishes. She will be attended by a friend, or probably two, and will make such arrangements as will effectually secure her from unpleasant interruption.--(Dublin Register of Monday.) MEETING of THE UNEMPLOYED WEAVZItS IN LAWARKIIitIa. , --On Saturday last a Meeting of %Weavers' Delegates from the various districts in this neighbourhood, was held in the usual place. The object of the Meeting was to re ceive from the several districts an account of the number of weavers out of employment, which statement it was intended to lay before the Lord Provost and Magistrates. Twelve of the districts gave in no returns, and some of the others were incom plete. The following are from the returns given :—Anderston . contains 900 looms, of which 386 are idle. Baillieston toll con tains 150 looms, of these 08 are empty. The district of North Bridgeton contains, in whole, between 400 and 000 looms.— The returns are only from about one half of this district, which contains 150 empty looms. For. the centre and south districts of Bridgeton the accounts are incomplete. In the ter mer 100, and in the latter 60, empty looms were taken up. In Charleston there are 123411 e ; in Cowcaddens, of 300 looms, 120 are lying idle. In Clyde; Bell, and Tobago streets, of about 500 looms, there are 74 idle; and 100 working webs upon which they cannot average lid. a-day. In Drygate thete are 105 idle ; in Dry gate-toll., 73 ; in Duke -street, .18 ; in timbals, containing 564 looms, there are 223 idle; in llavannah, out of 130 looms, there are 48 idle ; in the district of Keppoch-hill, of 70 weavers there are 20 idle. The district of King -street is divided into 101) wards ; returns are only given in from 4, which contain 70 empty looms. In Pollokehaws, containing about 000 looms, there are 216 idle. In Butherglen there are 167 idle. In Springbank, of 141 weavers, there are 50 unemployed ; and in Strabungo, containing 104 loom*, there are 28 idle-25 of whom are mar ried Men. Parkhead Camlachie, and some other extensive dis tricts, have not yet yet given in their returns. The delagates, before separating, appointed a general meeting to be held in the Green, this day, to decide upon an address to the Magistrates, requesting them to endeavour to procure employment for the idle I tands.—( Giorgout Chroniel9 Ex EC U T 0 X AT A 1114 AG It ..---Pairiek CarUerrN (whose trial, for the turner of Doyle, the postilion, was lately given) was on Monday executed, pursuant to his sentence, in front of Armagh (hol.

AGENCY COMPANY,• ft was. expected that Mr. GOUNDRY, the Mit= lining Director of the United Tea 44ency ompany, would have attended yesterday at the Mansion-house, to answer the charge brought ageing him of haviog obtained a sum of money under false pretences from Mr."11ell of Huddersfield. Mr. Bell and Mr. Torriano, his solicitor, were in attendance during the greater pan of the day, but no Managing Director appeared. Mr. Christie, and two other members of the Society of Friends, stated, that having seen in the newspapers an account which described Mr. Goundry as. one of the Society, they thought proper to wait upon the Lord Mayor upon the subject. Mr. .Christie said, that Mr. Goundry, although he dressed and wrote in the manner of " The Friends," was no longer a member of that body, having been read out, after it had been ascertained that some fraudulent circumstances attended his bankruptcy in the year 11111. He (Mr. Christie) had made inquiries into the matters relative to which the complaint had been made against Mr. Goundry, and he had learned that the sole manager anti director of that concern was no other than that person, and that the Company was a most gross de ception„ The LORD MAYOR said, he had every reason to believe that the thing was got up for the purposes of fraud, and that the en, dcavour of Mr. Goundry to be taken for one of the Society of Friends would meet with a pttblic denial. Mr. Torriano said, lie had received a letter from Mr. Gonn dry's solicitor, stating that Mr. Bell was considerably in debt to the Company—that all attempts to compel Mr. Goundry to pay the money demanded should be resisted ; but that he was, not disinclined to enter into an amicable accommodation. — The idea of accommodation was, Mr. Torriano said, quite ri diculous. It was palpable that Mr. Goundry was the sole actor in the humb; and it might be seen, Prom the fol lowing letter, that h ead carried on the humbug like a man of business Respected Friends, W. and N.

The Loan MAYOR, said, he wss determined that Mr. Goundry should. appear before him ; and if no notice were liken of summons to attend, a warrant should be sent after An officer was immediately 'dispatched to. Mr. foundry's counting-house ; but he returned, anti said he could find no Mr. foundry, nor director, nor any body else, except a poor porter. The counting-house appeared in a most deplorable state, and there was no symptoms of the least business. The Loan IllAvott then sent for the porter, and asked him several questions about the managing director, and the com pany. The.accounts given corresponded with that which many a shareholder in other companies received upon making in quiry into the particulars of the concern in which he had em barked his property. The porter said, he was aware of the paper sent by the Lord Mayor to Mr. foundry, hut he had not seen Mt. foundry since the paper had been left at the counting-house. lie be lieved, however, that Mr. foundry had been in, and might have seen the paper. The bonD M AYOli.—Are you employed by the directors ? No, my Lord ; I am employed by Mr. foundry. IlOw much does he give you a week ?—I am paid. by the day. I gets 21. How many clerks are in the counting-house?—None but myself.—(A laugh.) Who writes the letters ?—Mr. foundry. Who keeps the books ?.—Mr. foundry. Who is the treasurer ?—Mr. foundry.

Ilas there been any meeting of directory at all ?—Not as I know. Has the company done much in the tea business ?—Not a great deal, I believe ; there was ten chests purchased ; but Mr. Goundry never told me nothing. What business have you seen done P—l have seen a cheat of tea taken from the East India Warehouse, and Mr. Uuundry gave directions about it : hut he never tells me nothing. What is your business at the counting-house.?--Why, I takes in letters and newsrapers.

' Inonable gentlemen numbered their shirts upon the same prin.- ciple.—(A laugh.) perter......l don't know notlifag of that ; but I um sure that die printer never got no payment for what he printed. The lon MAYOR—From the appearances at present, it is evident that this has been got up for the purposes of fraud. Ms nobody been at the countinphouse to inquire about things of this kind ?—(pointing to the shares.) Porter—Nobody. The Loan Mayon. said, it' would appear as if the scheme had been adopted merely for the purpose of taking in a few in experienced individuals. It was a palpable fraud ; and if Mr. Got:miry should continue to disregard a second summons, a warrant should certainly be sent after him. ---- - A Goon OPENING eon OLD MA I Sin gapore a most singulur feature of the population is the great disproportion of the sexes. In no class do the number of women equal that of men. In the Bugis, they are not one.half ; and in the Chinese, the most effective part of the native population, they are only as one to thirteen, From the small number of women and children entering into the population of Singapore, and the necessarily large proportion of male adults, it follows, as a matter of course, that it is greatly more efficient than its numerical amount would seem to indicate. Nature seems to have been more lavish of female charms among the Grecian than the Al banian women, the latter having generally the complexion and features of gipsies ; but then the former seldom display the natural beauty they possess ; they make their appearan ce dis g uised by cosmetics and paint, and by ti n t artificial or. nutrients of false hair, and of all kinds of taste. less finery, rendered still less attractive, by smelling of essences and musk. . - RTIIS.
